Once the website selection is determined,
the fun part begins. Setting up an attractive comprehensive profile is the
first key to your success. Don’t know where to start or what to include?
Well, you’ve come to the right place for help.

Photos are
the first key to online matchmaking success.

Initially, you will need to focus on posting quality photos. If you are
a couple, you will need to include photos of each partner. Too often, a
couple’s profile is jam-packed with tantalizing photos of the female, but
nothing of the male. Remember, the ladies want a sneak peak at what the
male has to offer as well. The quintessential couples’ profile has
individual photos of both partners, and at least one photo of them
together. Posting a couple photo serves more than one purpose. When other
members view your album, they know that you are a real couple, and not a
single male posting photos of a cyberspace model in his profile under the
guise of a couple, thus attempting to lure unsuspecting members into
contacting him. Displaying photos of you together also serves to enhance
your sense of ‘togetherness’ in others’ eyes.

Decide
what type of photos portray your sense of adventure best.

Another consideration when adorning your online ad with photos is the
degree of naughtiness. Although this can be a subjective matter, the most
success seems to come from profiles that handle their photo posting with a
touch of class. Many websites have two to three different albums for their
profiles. Oftentimes, you will find that there is a public album which is
open for the entire membership to view, with no limitations. If you don’t
savor the prospect of displaying yourselves in all of your naked glory for
everyone to see, you can utilize this album for exhibiting clothed photos.
Keep in mind that the first photo you post will serve as the defining image
of your whole profile. The primary photo will be the one to show up when
members are doing profile searches and checking to see who is online. It is
also the icon that will show up when chatting and using public forums.
Probably the most important role of the primary image is the one it serves
in correspondence. When you contact others, it is the very first image they
will see in their mailbox before opening up your letter. First impressions
are lasting. So, ask yourself, “Do we want to post a close-up photo of our
naughty bits for our primary photo and have everyone who encounters our
profile to remember us as ‘that crotch couple’?” High quality swingers site
rarely allow nudity in the primary photos. Besides, if you are meeting
someone who only has their privates on display, how are you supposed to
recognize them? Have you ever heard anyone exclaim, “Hey, that’s Bob! I’d
recognize that crotch anywhere.”? Didn’t think so.

Quality
vs. Quantity: Is one better than the other?

Although quality is perhaps paramount when composing a pictorial profile,
quantity can’t hurt either. Posting a large array of photos will lure more
peeks from other members. Variety within this array will also garner more
interest. Professional photos are aesthetically pleasing, but people will
also want to see what you look like under normal conditions. Some things to
consider when varying your photos can be: everyday depictions of what you
look like (not glammed up), photos taken of you at parties, outdoor shots,
indoor shots and bedroom teasers. Those who are adept at programs such as
Photoshop can also do some pretty neat renditions of photos, although it
would not be wise to alter every picture with a photo editing program.

Portray
yourselves as accurately as possible.

Try to ensure that your pictures are an accurate representation of who
you are and what you currently look like. If you post a ten-year old photo
of yourself when you were thirty pounds lighter, this is what people will be
expecting to see in person. You wouldn’t want to be deceived by others, so
make sure you are representing yourself accurately.

Keep it
fresh!

After a period of time, you may want to
rotate your photos and switch out your main image. This can be done by
choosing another picture already existing in your album, or by posting a
brand new photo. Constantly rotating your pictures and/or adding new ones
will ensure that your profile continues to get views, thus increasing the
amount of correspondence you receive. Members are always on the lookout for
fresh photos, and will sometimes take a moment to e-mail you their
compliments on your new photos.
